Groveland announces automated trash collection and new contractor G Mellow starting June 29
Summary
The town announced a new trash and recycling contract with G Mellow beginning June 29, 2026: qualifying households will receive a 65‑gallon town-issued trash cart, pickups will use a mechanical arm, recycling will move to every-other-week collection, July is a transition month, and overflow bags will be disallowed starting in August.
Town officials announced that Groveland will begin service with a new trash and recycling contractor, G Mellow, on Monday, June 29, 2026. Qualifying households will receive a black 65‑gallon trash cart in early June and residents will be required to use town‑issued carts for both trash and recycling.
Under the announced change, collection will be fully automated using a mechanical arm. July will serve as a transition month; beginning in August the town will no longer accept overflow bags. Officials said recycling will move to every‑other‑week pickup and that residents will receive updated service calendars and guidance on disposal of old carts and drop‑off locations for cardboard.
The program announcement included operational details but did not provide contract documents or procurement vote tallies in the program transcript. Residents were directed to the town website for additional information and for guidance on how to obtain new carts.
